CAROLA BRAVO

NEW MONUMENTS 2023
MAR 1,2023-JAN 1,2024

Bernice Steinbaum Gallery is proud to announce that the Artist Carola Bravo is the winner of the New Monuments project at the Bass Museum through the Knights Art Commissions Program.

Miami-based artist Carola Bravo’s work includes public architectural art and immersive site-specific video and art installations. Through her practice, she explores the geometry of our spaces and how they intersect with history, memory, and time, touching on themes such as change, home, exile, and hope. Bravo examines the existence of nesting and our sense of belonging through the experience of the geometric ordering of a place. Her interest in landscape, spaces, and territories forms the basis of her examination of the conceptual and emotional implications of our relationships with space and time.

Bravo challenges the conventional authority and memorialization of monuments with a sculpture that is most present when viewers discover it by seeing themselves reflected in the form’s mirror-like surface. Bravo suggests understanding the present in terms of geometric space through the psychological significance of recognition and representation.
